The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

As soon as Lin Hai entered the door, there was a boy who had been ordered by Jia Min earlier to deliver the letter all the way to the second door, and a little girl who did odd jobs trotted to the guest house where Jia Lian lived temporarily.As soon as Xiao Hong and Xiao Xiang, who was guarding Jia Lian's needlework, got the letter, she scrambled to fetch water, and was going to wake up the young master Biao to regain her senses, lest the master come to ask questions but hadn't packed it up yet, and went back in a panic. Something went wrong.

Because Jia Lian was sleeping soundly, Xiao Hong didn't dare to cry out in a hurry, for fear of bluffing him, so she stepped heavily on her feet, walked to the bedside and called out "Master Biao" a little louder.After calling five or six times, Jia Lian opened his eyes, but his eyes were a little distracted. Xiao Hong hurriedly took the soaked towel with both hands, and told about Lin Hai's return.

Jia Lian was still a little drowsy, but Xiaohong suddenly came back to her senses when she finished speaking. She took the towel and wiped her face, then got up and put it on neatly. In a hurry.

When Jia Lian was fully dressed, rinsed his mouth with green salt, and drank half a cup of strong tea, a big girl from Jia Min's courtyard came to pass a message, saying that the master invited the young master Biao to the study.

When Jia Lian hurriedly dug out from the cage that had been put on the side, he prepared the rewarding purse and thanked the girl, and handed the remaining purses of different weights to Hongxiang and the two, saying that he was new here, and everyone had to work hard. For a few days, it was his wish to let them share it with the girls, big and small, in the courtyard.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the girls to come over to salute, she hurriedly stepped out.

Although he only came to this royal mansion once in his previous life when he accompanied sister Lin back to his hometown, Jia Lian still clearly remembered the way to his uncle Lin Hai's study.At that time, Uncle Lin was already terminally ill, living alone in the wing room on the side of the study, often unable to get up all day long.

On the day when Uncle Lin was dying, he once swore in the study on behalf of the entire Rongguo Mansion that they would treat Sister Lin like jewels, and then took from Uncle Lin's pillow the treasure that represented the accumulation of the Lin family for generations. The key to the warehouse and various deed papers "gave up" millions of wealth to the Jia family.

Until many years later, Jia Lian still remembered the desolate and helpless look in Uncle Lin's eyes when he looked at him.Even after he swore a heavy oath, Uncle Lin never showed any emotion on his face.Thinking about it, Uncle Lin couldn't see the coldness of the Jia family. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no one to trust, he would never have entrusted Sister Lin and the Lin family business to him.In the end, all Uncle Lin asked for was sister Lin's peace and happiness, but he failed.

At the beginning, the girl who led the way saw Jia Lian lowering his eyes slightly, so she wanted to remind him to pay attention to his steps several times, but after seeing that he was walking more steadily than the wife who often came to talk to the master, she stopped making a sound. After taking Jia Lian to the master's study, he saluted and then went back to reply.

Jia Lian glanced at the "Mingde" plaque hanging on the door of the study, took a deep breath, and finally walked into Lin Hai's study with a dignified appearance.

At this time, Lin Hai still had a gentle smile on his face when he was talking to his wife Jia Min, and he looked at his wife's natal nephew with a look of admiration. Before Jia Lian knelt down and saluted, he quickly walked over to hold him He said softly, "What are you doing, kid? There are too many etiquettes, just get up and sit and talk."

After his wife Jia Min asked him to give some advice to his natal nephew Jia Lian, Lin Hai spent his spare time thinking about what to do.It is said that Zi Xiaofu, Lin Hai thinks that even if Jia Lian is not as stupid and absurd as his father Jia She, there will not be much difference in temperament.After Lin Hai married Jia Min, he had been an official in Beijing for the first few years. He had dealt with the two brothers in the Rongguo Mansion quite a bit, and he thought he understood the temperament of the Jia family man.

After all, he is the wife's nephew and the daughter's cousin, Lin Hai couldn't just beat him down with a stick and intimidation, so he had to coax Jia Lian to speak up first, and then it would not be too late to change his face.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian got up and took a big step back. Before Lin Hai came back to his senses, he bowed his head again, kowtowed respectfully, insisted on finishing the gift, and then stood up and replied sincerely: "Thank you, Lian'er." Uncle is loving. However, today is Lian'er's first visit to Uncle after he has learned about good and evil, right and wrong, and the gift is undeniable, and I hope Uncle will not blame Lian'er for making his own decisions."

As he said that, Jia Lian bowed again, his eyes were straight, and although his figure was not as tall and straight as a pine, it still had the nobility and gentleness that everyone's son should have.

Lin Hai's expression remained unchanged, but many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he became more and more appreciative of Jia Lian.The phrase "knowing good and evil, right and wrong" is really wonderful.Most of the descendants of the Jia family invited someone to be enlightened when they were five or six years old. When Lin Hai and his wife left Beijing, Jia Lian had already read a few books in his stomach. It was the first time we met after Mingli.

It is sensible for a child to be enlightened, and it is natural for a dude to turn around.

After everyone's son and famous family, Lin Hai has seen a lot in the past 30 years, most of them are just superficial, with no bones.To put it bluntly, everyone in Jia's mansion, below the two old dukes, except Jia Jing, who has been completely involved in the palace change, are all scumbags.

I didn't expect that when I saw Jia Lian today, I felt a little changed.Although there are still many flaws, and there are still some sloppy shadows in his gestures, but it is rare that the expression between his brows is correct.Now that you have this uplifting heart, it is not difficult to do.

An Ran received Jia Lian's great gift, Lin Hai knew that this little bastard must ask for something from him, so he also gave up his previous plan, sat down on the seat of honor, and the old god was present to take this cheap nephew to the school.

"A sage has a saying that if a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful. If he learns, he will not be solid. What's the explanation?" Lin Hai deliberately refused to answer Jia Lian's words, and asked directly.

No matter how ignorant and incompetent Jia Lian recited the "Xue Er" chapter, he certainly did not fail to understand what it meant.It's just that he felt ashamed, seeing that Uncle Lin didn't even mention showing him a seat, and didn't even order someone to bring tea, he couldn't help but feel anxious like a drum, but in an instant, a layer of cold sweat rolled up on his back.

It's a pity that even though Jia Lian has been a human being for two lifetimes, he probably would never have imagined that Lin Hai didn't order someone to pour tea for him, just because he couldn't bear to part with the few white silver needles left in the pot.Among the many high-grade teas, Lin Hai loves this one the most, and it cannot be passed on to the outside world for the salt merchants to exploit. Therefore, the dignified patrolling salt censor can only quietly send people out to buy it. The old servant who has been in charge of this matter has recently been busy looking for a reliable wife and doctor for his wife and the young master who is about to be born, and he doesn't know when the next time will be.

Originally, for the sake of his wife Jia Min, Lin Haicai specially prepared this tea to entertain Jia Lian. Since his son wanted something, he happened to save his good tea.

Jia Lian didn't understand this kind of joint, and thought it was something he did wrong that made Uncle Lin dissatisfied. Fortunately, he had enjoyed wealth and suffered hardships, so his heart was already firm, and after a moment of panic, he calmed down.

Recalling the teachings of Mr. Enlightenment back then, Jia Lian took a deep breath as much as possible inconspicuously, and replied in a deep voice: "The sage's words are to teach us that if you are a gentleman, you will not be majestic if you are not heavy. Learning will not last long. As the saying goes, when a husband stands in the world, he first looks at virtue, followed by knowledge. High morality, respect from others, deep learning, and fear from others. If virtue is not deep, work will not be diligent. If you are not diligent in your work, you will not be good at learning. If you ignore the outside, you will not be able to strengthen the inside. Therefore, if you are not serious, you will not have majesty, and what you learn will not be solid."

After finishing speaking, Jia Lian thought about it for a moment, making sure that there was nothing wrong with what she said, and then she straightened her back and waited for Lin Hai's comment.

Lin Hai, who seemed to be concentrating on tasting tea, nodded in satisfaction.Flustered but not flustered, although his knowledge is really not very good, he is still a man of character.

Reluctantly putting the teacup that exudes a real fragrance by his hand, Lin Hai said to Jia Lian with a kind and kind look on his face, "It can be seen that you are really hardworking in your studies. How can you still stand? If it is as your aunt said." That is a solid child. My family members don't need to pay attention to etiquette, just sit and talk."

While speaking, he winked at the servant standing beside him holding his breath, and immediately someone came up to pour tea for Jia Lian, but it was Biluochun who was used to entertain distinguished guests in Lin's residence.

Jia Lian carefully looked at Lin Hai's face in secret for a while, and then slowly he felt relieved. He also picked up the tea and tasted it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"

After appreciating the tea, Jia Lian dared to speak again when he saw Lin Hai's happy face, "Uncle is really absurd. Lian'er was ignorant when he was young, and he wasted his studies. How can he be worthy of the word solid and practical. But he has a little knowledge." A few words, it’s not enough to be illiterate, it’s really frustrating. Now every time I think about it, I really regret it.”

Speaking of this, Jia Lian really felt a little emotional. He paused for a moment, but he heard Lin Hai suddenly pick up the words and waved to him: "Come here, and write a few words for me to see."

Jia Lian was stunned, and immediately responded, walked quickly over with restraint, took the pen from Lin Hai, dipped it in ink after thinking for a while, and began to write. It is the pavilion style that I have practiced hard these days.

As soon as Lin Hai saw the word Jia Lian, he knew that the matter of taking the opportunity to teach Jia Lian was done.

A young boy in his teens already knows what to do, as long as he has the desire to make progress, if there are elders who are willing to give advice, no one will turn him away.Fortunately, this kid is clever and clever, and he can stand up and stand up. After all, he is a descendant of the Duke of the Kingdom.

Smiling, he clicked on Jia Lian's words, and Lin Hai took a look at Jia Lian: "Guange Style."

Jia Lian knew that his hard work in the gymnasium was enough to make Uncle Lin understand his ambition, so he didn't hide it, and admitted it frankly: "Boy is arrogant, yes."

Lin Hai nodded, instead of sarcasm like Jia Lian was worried about, but patted Jia Lian on the shoulder in relief: "The family is long, and the descendants should inherit the mantle of the ancestors. You have this ambition, of course it is a blessing for the whole family. I see that you are not quite up to the law..."

Lin Hai's career has been ups and downs for a long time, and he habitually pauses when he talks about the most important points.

He picked up the teacup and took another sip, and was about to say the following words, "Why don't you stay in Yangzhou Mansion for a while, stay with your aunt, and talk to me when you have time", when Jia Lian was overjoyed. Pulling up his robe, he knelt down and kowtowed again.

"Please teach me sir!"
